Hi Robert, re: topography files that Rick Kohrs made available at a MUG meeting > Yes, that's the file. The one he put on CD. If you could make that available >for download (and the enhancements) I would appreciate it. The one labeled >topo_lak > is the one I am interested in.

You can find the files in the pub/mcidas/data directory of anonymous FTP on our FTP server, ftp.unidata.ucar.edu.
